They didnt mention that Floyd was actually down on the scorecards against Jesus Chavez at the time of the stoppage. One of my fav fights from Mayweather, Chavez was quite yhe customer, eventually gassed but he didnt stop throwing. Had it went the distance, floyd woulda been 46-1

Had it went longer, Chavez would have never went on to win a major title

The fight was stopped because he was getting hit too much and too cleanly.

People just don't get it...accumulation of shots is worse than a clean knockout


Jesus Chavez may have suffered permanent damage

Great writing, Cliff.

Mayweather's 130 lb. reign was impressive. Opponent rank: #1, #2, NR, NR, NR, #10, #1, NR, #4.

Thanks bud. That's why I wanted to do this. Sources like Ring, CBZ, and eventually TBRB (and I've been involved with all at some point for full disclosure) aren't perfect, but they're a good gauge of where things were heading into certain fights. This is also, IMO, a cool way to see how each career evolved and by the end to see if we can test some of the truths and fictions about both careers.
